She should NOT be teaching this class. While the hw was fair and midterm was ok, the final project had nothing to do with the class (2 little time to work on it too). Let alone the lectures never made sense. She needs to be better prepared and use a book atleast. A very frustrating class when it should not be.

Talk to her; she'll help you out if you're struggling.

Very nice & helpful lady. Has a lot of commitments and is very overwhelmed most of the time. Does not do a great job communicating main concepts but homework is manageable. Would take with a different teacher if possible, lectures are very dry and boring and midterm/final are very hard

The class wasn't too confusing, just have to spend some time on reading and trying to understand the materials on your own. Went to her office hours as well as my TA's, which are both really helpful. Another thing that helped a lot was signing up for CLAS, although it's for PSTAT 5A (but materials covered are pretty much the same)

She is super nice and friendly, as a person I love her... as a professor I found her lecures confusing, longdrawn out, and easy to get lost during. She does really try to make her self avaliable though if you need help. She really wants to help... she just doesn't lecture well. Her tests questions were fair but she put in ALOT of hidden tricks.

Wendy... oh Wendy... such a nice person, such a horrible teacher. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS. If you seriously have to, try to get a TA who is easy to understand.

Very nice and helpful professor. She goes out of her way to be available to her students. The material is taught quickly in this class, and she can be unclear at times. Make sure you speak up if you don't understand! I also suggest signing up for CLAS with Bihn!

This teacher suuuucks! She doesnt explain anything very well. She thinks everyone already knows the material, or experience in stats. When you ask a question in class, she never directly answers it. Her tests are trying to trick you, she "tests for understanding" not how good your calculator is. don't take it unless you're a math person.

This class is very difficult and dont take it if you can avoid it. She's nice, but she struggles to explain the material. Only take if youre good at teaching yourself all the material.

Seems to get confused about her own material a lot of the time. Slides are way too full of info and she goes through them too fast to tell what you need to take down. TAKE CLAS, I had Binh Pham for my PSTAT 5LS CLAS tutorial and he is amazing. Once we past the easy chapters, I learned everything in there and on my own.

you need to pay close attention to lecture. She is extremely helpful in office hours. Sections are pointless but you need to go and do work to get credit for them.

Not a very good professor. Slides have way too much information and the sample problems in class do not have any specific question. Tests asks mostly about concepts. Really did not enjoy the class.

Very intelligent and helpful professor, BUT very difficult to follow in class! MT1 was stupidly easy and MT2 was stupidly hard, made no sense. She ended up curving at least 20%. Practice tests were 10x easier than the actual midterms, but the final was just like the practice (probably due to the 55% avg on MT2) Overall not recommended.

Nice Lady but not a very good teacher! She constantly struggled to explain the material!! The text book that is used is also terrible!! If you struggle in any type of math do not take this class!!

Worst professor I have ever had. Slides have too much detail and constantly throw out information without explanation. Example problems do not ask a specific question and span multiple pages. Tests ask more if you understand the concepts rather than asking direct questions. If you can, avoid her at all costs!

She is really weird, cannot understand her at all! Had a living hell in that class thankfully she curved it and there was a HUGE curve that brought my grade up from a D to a B.. I was lucky though so be aware of taking this class, if math is not your biggie do not take this class!

She is not a good lecturer. I got more out of my sections than I did out of class. It's hard to keep up with what she is saying and her notes on the overhead are illegible which confuses and causes you to lose focus. I would not recommend this teacher.

She's one of the nicest teachers I've had at UCSB. However, she consistently assigned way too much homework each week. The midterm was very hard, but she allowed one page of notes for the final exam since so many people failed the midterm. She says she doesn't curve, but she must since I got a better grade in the class than I should have.

Not all that great a lecturer. Use of overhead projector made it hard for much of the room to see what she was writing. Her exams are fair, and providing us with past exams is EXTREMELY helpful. Her replacement, after she left for medical reasons, Brian Wignall, was a better lecturer who gives better insight into solving problems.

I took this class only because it was required for my major. I thought that the midterm was do-able... but the final was out of this world hard. The class itself was boring. I went to office hours several times to get help and left there with as much knowledge as i did when I came in there. i hadnt taken Calc in a while. So this class was hard. :(

okay... midterm was EZ, and the practice exams were availible, however, the Final exam was completely different style from midterm or practice exam. i was like. WTF... O.O

this class was really boring. but it actually wasnt that hard. i failed the midterm and still ended up with a B in the class. Only took cuz it was for my major dont take it otherwise. realizing though it is a billion times easier than 120b

she is a really nice teacher and the tests are not too hard as long as you have done the homework. the class boring and not really very interesting.

she is really nice....but not a very good teacher. she knows her stuff, but she doesn't really know how to get it across. she talks about theorems and expects you to apply them. if you haven't already taken stats dont take her.
